About the A711-2 / A716-2 Floor- & Wall-Mount Tiltmeter
– Precision biaxial tilt measurement for tough installations
The A711-2 (floor-mount) and A716-2 (wall-mount) are precision 2-axis tiltmeters that bolt or clamp to virtually any surface and are especially well suited for areas with heavy traffic or vibration. Their electronic performance is identical to the A701-2 platform tiltmeter, making them a proven choice when you need the same measurement quality in a more rugged mounting format.
With two switchable gains and two low-pass filter settings, the A711-2/A716-2 can be tuned to your application—balancing sensitivity and signal smoothing for reliable long-term measurements. The sensor is sensitive to <0.1 µrad and provides a stable ±8 VDC output (±16 VDC differential) for straightforward integration into data acquisition systems.
Key benefits
- Bolt-on / clamp-on installation for floor or wall mounting
- 2 switchable gains + 2 low-pass filters for flexible signal optimization
- High sensitivity for precision alignment and deformation monitoring
- Outputs: ±8 VDC single-ended / ±16 VDC differential
- Channels: X-tilt, Y-tilt, Temperature
